What about the 50m penalties… very undisciplined by the team. 2-3 goals from there made the end margin more than it ought to have been. Obviously the Franklin one wasn’t there but still.

There’s always one side in the top 4 that goes straight sets.

Sydney too good. They have a better game plan. I’ve said it since half way in the year that the game has moved away from contest and stoppage. They have the defensive pressure to counteract our contest game and have a better outside and HB game. Salem on the HB is not the answer anymore, Bowey inexperienced and Brayshaw is a turnover merchant. We are not going to trouble the other top 4 this year I’m afraid. Scott and Longmire are still coaching after 10 years for a reason..

Every game we have lost has looked like this.

I hear you, but i think they base the call on whether he actually touches the call and in that case, i think he actually doesnt, so as ridiculous as it sounds, technically was there. I think the first one (in the 1st quarter) where Tarrant bends down to minimise the speccy needs to be considered for tunneling. Im not sure on the actual ruling, but think its paid when the defender pushes the player from behind whilst in flight. I don't understand why its not the same thing if the defender backs into a player whilst in flight - It is just as dangerous.

Unless you have a Leigh Matthews moment... All jokes aside, the solution is not lasers but hawkeye tech developed for AFL. A few doppler radars and some strategically placed sensors, will get it done.

too late.

Fox footy panel talking like we have already lost.

Not as worried now if we lose tomorrow. Lions at the G is not a scary proposition.

The goal umpire was a nugget for calling it a goal in the first place. It was clearly a behind.

Great goal kicker Jack

AFL would be loving this but it’s actually boring. Nothing hard or finals like about it.

McStay is a nice kick. He has good vision as well.

Geez these teams are miles off top 4.

Hah, that’s how I read at first too.

Not if it’s the soul draining kind of gastro. Sucks you dry of fluids and usually is a 36-48 hour recovery. So one can only hope he is on the mend and with a good nights sleep can be ready to play tomorrow.

That would be a steal. But I reckon he ends up playing with his brother . Geelong just gets things done.

Who played the defensive wing against the Lions?

Poor bloke. The one thing you want is to have a crack but to be continually let down by your body is just unfair. The end is near I suspect.

Yep there’s no point risking next year. He said the injury is a 6 month One and he’s back playing in 3 months. I know it’s all about flags and premiership medallions but we will be there abouts next year as well so better to have a fit and firing KPF as we are low in stocks and the ones we do have are not in the best health.

The replay quality is definitely lower quality. Seems to me a lower frame rate rather than resolution. Hopefully the next iteration has the full 4K broadcast. However this will take away from the more premium foxtel offering so not holding my breath. This is where paramount or Amazon can potentially change the game.

It’s going to be wet based on the current forecast, which will make it a ground ball game for sure. I doubt they will go for a 3 tall setup if that is the case (Logan, Reid and Franklin) but who knows. I think we have more weapons in the SF department anyway.

I’d give you Daicos, but Young, Serong, Anderson are all a dime a dozen. LJ is playing well above the benchmark for his age and position. And that is rarity, which makes him so valuable.

JVR has a lot of raw talent. He reminds me a lot of Jack Riewoldt. He still needs time to develop though. Hopefully he gets a few games next year in the 1s but don’t expect miracles for at least another 1-2 years.

Get Weid as 2nd ruck during pre season. He just may have found his spot.
